[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 4095990, member: 35036"] I’ve caught some. I like bow fishing for them. I give them to my buddy’s wife, as she’s Chinese and loves them. Buys us some brownie points so he can get out occasionally. Otherwise any carp that make it out of the water die. If I’m somewhere busy I can usually find someone to take ‘em. Last random guy I gave a real big one to said “hey, nice fish” in really bad English. I said, “thanks, you want it?” He asked me twice if I was sure, I thought for a second and had to make sure I wasn’t giving him my truck or something. Once he was convinced I wasn’t messing with him, he took it off my hands, threw the fish over his shoulder, and ran all the way back to his truck like I was gonna change my mind or something. Threw that thing in the bed and hauled ass for the house I’m guessing. I still think about that short Mexican guy from time to time. I’ll use method feeders, with mixed success. Usually use the corn/Panko/koolaid mix. It’s a pretty cool gig, the weight on one side ensures your bait always lands bait side up, and the fins allow you to pack that bait in there. [ATTACH type="full" alt="IMG_2864.jpeg"]402448[/ATTACH] My craziest catch was when fishing for striper, managed to catch a 15-20ish lb carp on a 6” shad swimbait. The way that guy took off I thought I was about to bring in a contender for state record striper. Talk about a rush. Some of those British guys take it super serious… but what amazes me is their casting abilities. Roughly according to one guy “I don’t see why an average bloke can’t cast at least 150 yards”, that same guy can make 230 yard casts. Laser accurate too. I can get some distance, but I’m never accurate in those instances. I think my furthest regular cast was probably 100-110 yards. 150-200 yards is just crazy. [/QUOTE]
